George orwell's admonition in his essay on gandhi

Polemic, "a Magazine of Philosophy, Psychology, and
Aesthetics," during its short life (1945-47, 8 issues) published some of
Orwell's best essays. "The Prevention of Literature" is both a
spirited attack on the "distortion in writing" caused by the
"poisonous impact on "English intellectual life" by Communist and
fellow travelling apologists for Soviet actions and a strong defense of freedom
of expression. Swingler, a minor English Communist poet in his mid-30s, attacked
Orwell for writing this article "through a fog of vagueness and through a
hailstorm of private hates," equating Orwell (and Koestler) with the
anti-Soviet "HEARST PRESS". Polemic's editors allowed Orwell to
respond to Swingler in sidebars almost as long as the article. Orwell demolished
Swingler's arguments. In "Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool" Orwell dredges
up and dismisses a long forgotten Tolstoy pamphlet in which the Russian author
judged Shakespeare as "not even an average author." Orwell used
Tolstoy's pamphlet to condemn those who would practice coercion in support of
their beliefs, no matter how principled or noble these might be. Both Polemic
essays have been anthologized in various Orwell collections.

The next day, Julia surreptitiously hands Winston a note confessing her love for him. Winston and Julia begin an affair after Winston realizes she shares his loathing of the Party, first meeting in the country, and eventually in a rented room at the top of the antiques shop where Winston purchased the diary, which is owned by the seemingly kindly Mr. Charrington. They believe that the shop is safe, as the room has no telescreen. During his affair with Julia, Winston remembers the death of his family; during the civil war of the 1950's, Winston stole rationed chocolate from his malnourished infant sister and his mother, and would return home to discover that they had disappeared. He also recounts his terse relationship with his ex-wife Katharine, whom he was forced to have sex with and despised to such an extent that he considered pushing her off a cliff during a nature walk. Winston also interacts with his colleague Syme, who is writing a dictionary for a revised version of the English language called Newspeak . After Syme insightfully reveals that the true purpose of Newspeak is to reduce the capacity of human thought, Winston speculates that he will be vaporized. He is later proven correct when Syme disappears without a trace, and no one acknowledges his absence.
